A megabyte is a unit used to measure data storage.
Megabytes can be abbreviated as MB; for example, 1 megabyte can be written as 1 MB.
How Much Is a Megabyte?
In the International System of Quantities, one megabyte is equal to 1,000,000 bytes, or 106 bytes. However, the megabyte is commonly used interchangeably with the mebibyte (MiB), which is equal to 1,048,576 bytes or 220 bytes in the binary system.
So, depending on the context, one megabyte is equal to 1,000,000 or 1,048,576 bytes.
How to Convert Megabytes
To convert megabytes to another unit of data storage, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.[1]
You can find the conversion factors for megabytes in the conversion table below.
Then, multiply the data storage measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.
megabytes × conversion factor = result
You can also use a calculator, such as one of the converters below, for the conversion.
